Gandolfini makes perfect sense in a film like this, but Bledel is an odd choice. The only thing she's done even remotely like this was "Sin City," in which she played a very minor role and stayed out of the blood-and-guts action. To say nothing of the fact that she's 29.

Being a killer-for-hire will come easily enough for Ronan, who's already finished shooting "Hanna," about a 14-year-old girl who is raised to be an assassin, but is later taken in by a French family which tries to help her assimilate to life in a world where it's inappropriate for children to kill. It looks to be "Bourne" meets "The Professional."
